it won't be a big hit because he was already counting 1.4 mil against the cap correct?
Correct.
His $1.431M tender offer was in the cap before the new contract.

Word on the street is the first year is less than $2m, so at most it'll add $500k but it could wind up less than $1.4m by as much as $800k.

I remember seeing this brought up but I don't recall the answer. The Saints don't have to match the exact deal the Falcons offered, just the financial totals in a fashion agreeable to the player. Am I right?

not sure, pft has spent a lot of time talking about jax may construct a mack deal so that mack has a player option after next year.

From what I read, the saints need to maintain only the overall agreed terms, but not the structure of the contract. For example, if Bush's deal with ATL had $3 million guaranteed, the saints have to keep that much guaranteed but could shift how it is distributed.

But for instance, if ATL had a 1st year base of $1.5m and a total signing bonus of $500k, we could switch it to a 1st year base of $1m and a signing bonus of $1m.
If they didn't have any other bonuses, that would take the 1st year cap hit from $1.75m to $1.5m.
